Everyone had something special and memorable about them. Miku as cat, Riko's short but to the point speech, Chizu's cheerfulness, Yuhane's chinese introdution, Hana's korean... Yoko was memorable just by being Yoko, Namia and Asuna both had experience with being idols. And Julie... What was that? A strange introduction maybe but that made it very memorable and Ella actually liked it a lot for being so different. But what about her? What was special about her? What should she say in her speech that people would remember her?

"Number 3182!"

Ella was thrown out of her thought when she heard her number being called very nervous as she still had no idea what to say. She walked to the camera and tried to convince herself that she'll be alright.

"H-hello," she said internally getting very mad at herself that she couldn't even say her greeting properly. "My name is Ella, nice to meet you." She bowed. She knew she should have probably said Tachibana Elisabeth or at least Tachibana Ella instead of only Ella but she felt much more comfortable that way. "I'm currently 13 years old, turning 14 in October."

She paused still wondering what would be the best way to do her introduction. She quickly glanced at other auditioneers in room wondering how they knew what to say. Surely they knew more about entertainment, media and technology than her and what is important in introductions. Meanwhile she was media-clueless girl who had no experience with things like that. She just wanted to try join group to get away away from her home and gain more experiences... Wait!

It was as if someone suddenly told her what she had to do - suddenly she knew what to say. "Coming from planet with entertainment ban I don't have much experience with idols or entertainment that's why I still have a lot to learn. But I love learning so I don't think that will be hard to me. Knowledge is the biggest power someone can have and that's why I love to learn and experience new things. More I know about world around more easier it become to make a full picture of what is going on - those who have limited access to information are easier to control. And I don't want to be controlled. I want to experience as many things as I can, read many different books and look at things from various perspectives to build my own opinion on myself. I guess I'm just very curious and love to investigate."

Ella didn't even realise when it happened but somewhere during the speech she became much calmer,  all of her nervousness dissapeared and she was smiling. She was herself and that's the introduction she'll give.

"When I saw AKB0048 for the first time my world suddenly became much bigger. Music was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I don't know if being idol is my dream yet but I know that by joining AKB0048 I'll get chance to learn a lot. And if I can make others at least half as happy as members made me feel I'll be very satisfied." She smiled once again. "Thank you all for listening to me." Ella finished her speecha and bowed once again.

As she returned and next member was thought Ella wondered how she suddenly knew what to say. It was as if some voice told her that the reason everyone was memorable was because they were themselves - they showed their unique points. She had no idea if her speech was memorable or not but she was satisfied with it and at that moment she thought that was the most important thing.

Namia clapped. “That was an amazing speech Ella~” Namia said as she patted Ella on the back.
